How our green ammonia system works

Modular, Containerized, Autonomous

Talus Renewables, an energy technology company, has pioneered the first commercial, modular, de-carbonized green ammonia system that makes the local production and distribution of a critical raw material cost-competitive and more reliable.
Talus produces green ammonia at or near the point of use from renewable power, water, and air, stabilizing the cost of the essential raw material and guaranteeing supply certainty for local agriculture communities, mining sites, and maritime shipping.

Uses
Green Ammonia Solutions
Talus Renewables offers new pathways to chemicals, fertilizers, and fuels with its green ammonia production technology. Our distributed green ammonia systems profitably serve existing markets today while building a platform for emerging applications tomorrow.
Agriculture
Avoid supply chain uncertainty and lower the cost of nitrogen fertilizers by 50% with our carbon-free solution. Farmers in developing countries can tackle food insecurity by practicing sustainable farming with our on-site technology. Developed countries can boost profits and production without negatively impacting the environment.
Agriculture
Industrial
Industrial applications for anhydrous ammonia include industrial refrigeration, mining, and water treatment. Our green ammonia technology replaces the grey ammonia systems currently in place to reduce carbon emissions.
Industrial
Renewable fuels
Our green ammonia technology extends beyond agricultural and industrial uses to serve as a carbon-free renewable fuel source. Its capabilities include renewable energy storage and power generation.
Core team
Domain expertise across green ammonia, manufacturing, and project development
The core team at Talus possesses more than a decade of expertise in green ammonia, manufacturing, and project development having operated a prototype small-scale ammonia system since 2012. Backed by a diverse and experienced group of key advisors, Talus maintains an edge in green ammonia production technology development now and in the future.
